if you get lucky and get a phone with 3.0/3.01 then you are golden for unlocking again. I've read some people getting 3.0 phones still but majority as of the last 2 weeks seem to be getting 3.1. it mostly depends on how much inventory your store moves.

It's one of the 5 stores we have in the Toronto area.
They're all very busy.

Luckily I know a Genius there ... we've been through a lot with my hardware over time with my old MacBook Pro. Maybe I can sway him to give me an older one

Ended up getting a replacement 32GB 3GS with 3.0 and firmware 04 on it.
Newer backups are incompatible. I gotta start fresh.
Trying to isolate the bluetooth audio garble issue I had which started from 3.1 and up.

Am I able to do a jailbreak with 3.0 or has apple stopped people from authenticating 3.0 altogether?

Use a custom 3.1.2 firmware. So it will keep ur baseband (unlockable). Then you can do whatever u want with the phone. Plus Cyndia will be installed with the restore. So no need to JB it afterwards because it'll already be done, hehe

redsn0w 0.8.....It doesn't rely on Apple at all. Just be aware that you will NEVER get back to 3.0 again. Make sure you only use custom firmwares that don't update your baseband if you want to get to 3.1 or 3.1.2

Life should stay as long as you follow the Cardinal Rule of unlocking. NEVER UPGRADE TO A STOCK FIRMWARE UNTIL YOU KNOW WITHOUT A DOUBT THAT IT WON'T PUT YOUR JAILBREAK & UNLOCK IN JEOPARDY

And I also count my blessings that my Apple Genius got me a 3.0 unit from the back room. I begged. He delivered.

I'm currently jailbroken on 3.0.
I need to test with my car stereo - that's where the problems ensued with the garbled audio over bluetooth. I am going to systematically upgrade every day until I can replicate the issue. If I make it to 3.1.2 without an audio garble issue over bluetooth, then I know that it was the phone's hardware.
